Jerez Moto2 Test: Monday Results

Swiss rider Thomas Luthi was the fastest Moto2 man on track at Jerez on Monday, where he led a top five which also included Takaaki Nakagami, Claudio Corti, Pol Espargaro and Marc Marquez.

Thomas Luthi got the final pre-season Test at Jerez off to the best possible start by setting the fastest Moto2 time on Monday. The Interwetten Paddock GP rider set his best lap, a 1’42.627, in the morning session during which the Moto3 bikes were also on track, prior to the later afternoon session which saw each category get its own run.

Japanese rider Takaaki Nakagami continued his progress with the Italtrans team by posting the second quickest time of the day at +0.266s off Luthi, with his team-mate Claudio Corti just behind in a best time of 1’42.963.

Pons 40 HP Tuenti rider Pol Espargaró was the last man under 1’43” as he ducked below the barrier by 27-thousandths of a second, with the fit-again Marc Marquez making positive progress in his first official Test of the pre-season. The CatalunyaCaixa Repsol rider completed the top five, just under half a second off Luthi’s time in 1’43.080.
